The Kaipara Affair

And The Kaipara Affair, his provocative yet often lyrical examination of the threat posed to the Kaipara Harbour by rapacious commercial fishing and development, is the work of a man who took his time. He lived for almost three years in the small settlement of Tinopai on the harbour?s north side, getting to know the story he wanted to tell and winning the confidence of the people he needed to talk to.
